"In Dada you will recognise your own true condition. Wonderful constellations in real materials, wire, glass, cardboard, textiles are the organic equivalents of your own complete brittleness, your own shoddiness...Mankind is simultaneity, a monster of proper and improper parts, now, before, after and all at once...Mankind's discovery of its enormous potential for experience is unfolding. Uncovering our psycho-sexual nature, we no longer need the ethical pirouettes of "art." Dada offers an incredible refreshment, an impulse to experience all possible relationships."
Raoul Hausmann
Synthetic Cino of Painting Pamphlet (1918)
"A Dadaist...can fling away his individuality like a lasso - and is resigned to the realisation that the world at once and the same time includes Mohammedans, Zwinglians, fifth-formers, Anabaptists, pacifists, etc."
Richard Huelsenbeck
